Ticking/tapping sound from engine
Hi
I have noticed that I have a slight ticking/ tapping sound that increases with the revs and only seems to happen when engine is cold. Is this a common thing on imprezas? I have checked oil and levels are all good so was thinking it may need a thicker oil? Any ideas on what I could check? It seems to be coming from the left hand side of the engine bay near the air box?

Ok thats good to know, it's not easy to hear and when the engine is just ticking over you can't hear a thing. It only seems to be between 2 and 3 k on the rev range that I can hear the noise
